150,000
motorized mirrors reflect sunlight at the concentrated solar plant, located in the Mojave Desert, Ivanpah in the U.S. The
focused sunbeams of this area can reach temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees, attracting insects that perish in the intense
heat. The manifestation of Kathrin Stumreich’s investigation of this occurrence is a central piece in her latest exhibition
at discotec titeled; Mid-air collision.
During her on-site visit, she amassed 10 terabytes of
picture and video content, capturing observations of thermal activity, the color of the sky, and animal behavior. The interaction
between the natural environment and the infrastructure of renewable energy sources is central to her multimedia installation.
